Why Players Switch Genres for Star Citizen (Ft. YoyoMeg) | Launch Sequence Podcast

Everybody has a different story for how they found their main game, no matter what it is. Star Citizen ends up bringing many players from games that may not traditionally lead to a space flight MMO sim, but that’s because they game aims for much more. In today’s episode I’m joined by streamer YoyoMeg to talk about her own journey from FPS console shooters to the PC MMO Star Citizen, a journey I and many others share. Hope you enjoy!

It was nice hearing from someone who is relatively new to the game, how they discovered the game and what they thought about the pricing of ships etc.

[@kalaninalak]

Hell yeah! Meg!

[@aguspuig6615]

40:15 oooo and then you could even mix it in with base building, make a building thats basically a stationary mining station, and you can bring rocks to it, and its somehow better than ships at the mining process but it cannot move

[@CaptainSF]

One thing I would like to see added to mining gameplay would be to combine it with base building and underground facilities to be able to build out a mine.

[@TheeO115]

This came out just in time for me to start my work day

[@CaptainSF]

Yoyomeg is undeniable. Glad to see her here!

[@aevacado]

First time I saw YoyoMeg they were laughing about wanting an LTI Mop & Bucket. Such fun vibes! Immediate Subscribe!

[@phxbadash]

Heh I think I might have been the one to show Meg the MSR at first. Really happy to see her killing it in the SC community. Can't wait to meet at Citcon this year!

[@yoyoMeg]

It was absolutely you, freaking LEGEND! Thank you so much for guiding us newbies :3 ❤ MSR is so awesome.

[@IrvNation]

Oh snap! There's my Double Dog!

[@yoyoMeg]

❤

[@The-Rusty-Pigeon-Gamingchannel]

Nice to see new faces at Tomato 🍅 shows 👌🏻😎🥳🙌🏻

[@Shawnsrumi]

Yoyomeg… glad space could highlight you channel

[@TUROCK320]

Hello Donyounlnow xho is this.person ? It is a random player ?

[@Qwarzz]

I really want the scanning gameplay in. I sometimes go looking for good rocks to mine and sell locations for them to miners. That's the best we have for now. I did love scanning in EVE Online as well. It was quite satisfying to drop probes around and triangulate locations of players.

[@Tainted-Soul]

Cool chat I saved up the $5mil for the MSR then the next server wipe I got one from the store LOL 7 ships I know that feeling. I also would like to Salvage ship mid tier, between the Vulture and reclaimer a 2 to 3 player you just need something bigger to put all the guns in of the ships lol.

[@c-mcd7618]

@Yoyomeg "Star Citizen is in another league." Some others are saying that SC will be the first "AAAA" game. I tend to agree.

[@mattsully5332]

@~56 min, I think you're backwards. The salvage entry ship vulture should be readily available to anyone, the reclaimer should be the one locked behind a rep wall. Unless I misheard you

[@Wind_Lord]

they were talking about rental, not buying.

[@mattsully5332]

@@Wind_Lord that doesn't change my thought

[@Xenon676]

You can put Mole bags. On a prospector

[@skyllz15]

This is correct, my Bro and i both have Mole bags on our Prospectors

[@jedi_drifter2988]

IMO Data running will go hand in hand with smuggling, because either way, your transporting something you don't want anyone to know about. The MSR was made just for that purpose.

[@AccidentalFriendlyFire]

While I love the MSR, I hate what they've done with it. It's even worse with the shield changes coming; even more fragile than before. I finally melted it after six years of hoping it would get better. I still have a CCU chain back to it. Just in case.

[@richarddortch6122]

It seems to me that SC is more like 8+ games in one. FPS, Racing, Mining, Exploration, Transport, Engineering, Flight Sim, Scavenging............ I don't really mind that ships can get expensive since this is one game that has basically infinite replayability. It is an absolute bargain at the $45 buy in point!

[@vorpalrobot]

You haven't mentioned any social stuff either. Eventually when we get housing that we can decorate, a bunch of content where we can find/earn trophies... Just a whole bunch of metaverse stuff that CIG might be able to pull off.

[@yoyoMeg]

Um counter: 😓😂

[@saevvey1354]

lol i started when 3.18 was released glad im still playing it on the daily

[@terencespragg5708]

Me to 3.18.2.

[@The_Opinion_of_Matt]

Two more categories of people "involved" with Star Citizen. Those that only get update info from r/starcitizen. And those that formed their opinion about Star Citizen YEARS AGO and feel a need to tell everyone that is what the game is now and always will be.

[@fffx2]

Spoilers: they don't, the game is dying

[@LucidStrike]

SpaceTomato did. Meg did. I did. Most players I know did. It's definitely a thing. 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@apollodorus4759]

I definitely did. The only other space game I played before finding out about Star Citizen was Outer Wilds, but thats really a typical "space game". It just opened the floodgates after that.

[@wraith511802003]

OH look your are a lowsey troll.

[@rooster1012]

Dying? Might want to look at the server stats because player base is climbing fast.

[@kevinscales]

In what way?

[@ArcaneDgR]
